The Cleveland Cavaliers have now dropped four out of
their last six games on their current road trip. The latest coming last night
as the Cavaliers lost to the Popovich led San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs
absolutely dominated the defending champs as they won 103-71. One of the key
moments of the night came after the game. Kyrie Irving, who had a minus-28 plus
minus rating for the game, was seen on the court after the game to take part in
some shooting drills. Clearly Irving understands that the teams recent play is
unacceptable.
With nine games remaining in the season, there are questions to be asked about
this years Cavaliers team. They have a record of 7-10 in their past 17 games
and their inconsistent play continues to linger on their season.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are 11-6 in that span while also winning 14 out
of their past 15 games at home. The Celtics now lead the Eastern Conference by
a half a game over Cleveland as the season is coming to a close.
Boston has a relatively easy schedule in its eight games remaining in the 2017
season. Cleveland has nine games remaining in their respective season. However,
they have some tough games left as they matchup against playoff teams such as Indiana, Atlanta,
Miami, and Toronto. The Celtics and Cavaliers also have a huge game on
Wednesday, April 5th, as the two teams face each other at the TD
Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
